Excerpt from Glasgow Hospital Reports, 1901, Vol. 3: Edited for the Committee The present article has been written at the request of the editors of the Glasgow Hospital Reports, who felt that an account of the overhauling and recataloguing of the Anatomical and Pathological Collection was a proper subject for their volume; that the more widely it was known that something new was being done for the museum in general the better it would be for that institution, and the more likely it was to be useful. Further, that this report would reach many graduates of the University and others whom the catalogues would not reach, and who, indeed, might not otherwise hear anything about this matter. More particularly the present opportunity is taken to give what is not given in the catalogue of the anatomical and pathological preparations, viz., a general account of what that section of the museum contains, to indicate some of the points Of special interest or value about it, and lastly a few things that might be done to increase its usefulness as a collection for teaching and for reference in scientific research. A full account of the work which, in the last five years, has been done in the way of overhauling and recataloguing the anatomical and pathological collection has been given in the preface to the recently issued catalogue of that section of the museum. A biography Of William Hunter and a history of the origin and formation of h& museum, and its relations to his written works, are also contained in the historical introduction.
